Machining cylinder for moon clips

[zonker5]

I am thinking about having a 25-5 cylinder in 45 Colt machined to use moon clips and 45 acp. TK advertises on the web that they do this.

Anyone had it done? Did it work well or is it a kludge?

Thanks.

I have seen a model 686 .357 cylinder converted to use 9 mm in moon clips, they did a nice job.

T-K modified the cylinder on a .45 Colt Mountain Gun to accept moon-clipped .45 ACPs for me. The .45 was and remains extremely accurate with .45 Colt ammo. .45 ACP ammo does not quite perform on a level with the longer cartridge as far as pure accuracy is concerned, but I by no means consider it inaccurate......My timer tells me that in my hands, this T-K-modified Mountain Gun loads more quickly than my 5" Model of 1989 with chamfered chambers. The Mountain Gun has become my favorite firearm for use in my club's Sgt. York Category, which requires a loaded revolver and three additional loaded moon clips per stage.

I have had a 686+ and a 629-3 cut for moon clips at TK Custom. Got them in and out fast and absolute top notch work. You can go wrong sending your cylinders to him.

Yep. Good place to go. Best moon clips too.
